What is snack size media?
Snack size media is easily digestible content that your users can consume in a short amount of time. These content types can include video, audio, visuals, short-form text, quizzes, and more.
These bite sized content pieces are crucial to your prospects user journey. If the content is compelling, users will make the decision to continue to spend time with you and your brand.
Which medium is best?
Answer: Video is king. 👑
According to Statista, in 2020, the average United States adult watched 103 minutes of digital video content a day.
All the large social media platforms are now built for video. With these four being largely focused on the medium.
- Tik Tok (video only)
- Instagram (video & images)
- SnapChat (video)
- Facebook (video, images, text)
And… a study by Verizon Media showed that 69% of US consumers watch mobile video content with the sound off. Your video content needs to be engaging and of value. Plus, adding closed captioning must be a best practice.
4 types of snack size media that will increase engagement on your next social campaign:
